Chapter 374 Step By Step

• Sean curled his fingers tightly around the bottle of water and only spoke after a long pause. "I'm sure you can tell that I like you. Why do you seem so indifferent toward me all the time?"
• "I don't think I have a reason to show any response to your unconvincing show of love," Abigail replied. Perhaps he thinks that being nice to me is his way of showing that he likes me. However, my guess is he only thinks that he likes me because he's resentful after being forced to get a divorce. Even though he didn't decide to start a family out of love, he still wanted to go on with the marriage at first. The strategies that he uses for his work didn't help him in his marriage, and he's unhappy to find out that there's a flaw in his skill set. That's probably why he's trying so hard to save this now.
• Sean hadn't expected to be so flustered by Abigail's response. He hadn't expected her to utter such a thing at all. "Our marriage was a failure, Sean. It failed so badly that I'd rather marry anyone than you. You're wondering how I remain indifferent toward your gestures of fondness, but why don't you wonder about all the times I've compromised with your needs in the past three years?" Upon finishing her sentence, Abigail realized that a staff member was watching them from afar.
